Today's dinner table is very lively, Xu Zizhen is not so particular, so not only Mo Lier and Hu Sanniang, but even Kou Qiaoyi Daye also sat down, Wen Xian and Gao Pujun saw that they were about to pass the door, and they couldn't see Xu Zizhen according to the rules these days, at least they couldn't come to his house, and Shui Liuli went out on the day Xu Zizhen came back, and even Xu Zizhen didn't know where she went.

Duan Chen finally settled down, glanced at Gillian again with a complicated expression, and didn't say anything after all.

Now that the Jin Kingdom has been overwhelmed by a large army, Xu Zizhen has become famous all over the world after the First World War in Taiyuan, everyone knows that he is the strongest opponent of the Jin Kingdom today, but he has a Jin Country Jiao hidden in the Golden House, and I don't know what he thinks.

Xu Zizhen knew what he was thinking when he looked at him, but he didn't bother to explain, and after a toast to Duan Chen, he asked, "Brother Duan, were you in Bianjing before you came to Ying Tianfu?" ”

Duan Chen said: "Exactly, the new emperor of the Great Song Dynasty ascended the throne, so he naturally wanted to congratulate him." ”

Xu Zizhen asked: "I haven't inquired yet, who else is there besides Dali?" ”

Duan Chen folded his hands and said, "The Jin Kingdom is naturally going, as well as Western Xia, Goryeo, Japan, Tubo, oh yes, as well as Western Liao and Uighurs. ”

"Oh? All gone? Xu Zizhen was a little surprised, and then suddenly thought of a question, "By the way, the temper of the old Zhao family is to save face, you must have a return gift for sending a congratulatory gift, how about it, what did Zhao Huan give?" ”

Duan Chen smiled: "Brother Xu, you are so bold that you actually call your family by your holy name...... However, you are also right, the official family Longyan Dayue, the envoys of all countries each gave 100,000 taels of silver, 5,000 taels of gold, 100 pearls, and half of the gold country than us. ”

"What?!" Xu Zizhen jumped up violently and said angrily, "This loser, how much the does he get, I'm afraid he can go to Beijing with all this money to recruit troops and buy horses." ”

Duan Chen's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly grabbed him: "Brother, you be quiet!" You must know that trouble comes from the mouth, and don't say it again. ”

Xu Zizhen sat back in his chair with a cold snort, and said angrily: "I don't understand, the name of the State of Etiquette is so important?" Don't talk about your friendship with Song, but Jin Guo is now riding and peeing on his neck, and he actually pays money with a smiling face, the most annoying thing is that even his mother Goryeo stick little Japan came to join in the autumn breeze, how much do you say that Zhao Huan, the emperor, is lacking in heart? ”

Li Meng couldn't help but interject: "Uncle, you dissipate your anger, it's not all about the autumn wind, isn't there also Western Xia Tubo and Western Liao?" It's still more beneficial for our own people. ”

Zhuo Ya, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness, I don't know which one from Tubo is?" ”

Duan Chen's face showed a slight embarrassment: "Yes...... It's the Ali royal department. ”

Zhuo Ya nodded and didn't speak again, but glanced at Xu Zizhen intentionally or unintentionally.

Xu Zizhen suddenly realized, this King Ali seems to be one of the many tribes that have divided Tubo, and he is qualified to have the strength to congratulate Zhao Huan, it is estimated that he is not much worse than the King of Tubo, if he guesses correctly, he is the biggest enemy of the Tubo King Zalang Zampu at present.

Thinking of this, he stood up: "I'll go and relieve myself." After saying that, he went outside the house and found a secluded place and sighed softly, "Rogie." ”

Rogie responded and appeared in front of him: "Master." ”

"Assign people to monitor the envoys of all the countries who have entered the Heavenly Mansion, except for Western Xia and Western Liao Dali, understand?"

"Yes, master!"

Luo Ji was just about to leave, but Xu Zizhen stopped him again: "Can you read lip language?" ”

"Yes."

"Good." Xu Zizhen took out something from his arms, "This thing is for you." ”

Luo Ji took the thing and looked at it, it was a small bamboo tube, one big and one small, with a pure and flawless crystal embedded on both sides, and he looked up suspiciously: "Master, ...... is this?" ”

Xu Zizhen smiled mysteriously: "You go to the roof of the gatehouse now and use this thing to look at the hall, by the way, use the small one in front of you, I'll wait for you here." ”

Luo Ji was confused, but he still followed the words, his body was gone, and after a while, he returned to the same place, but his face was full of surprise and incredulity, and he didn't even speak as calm as before: "Master, this is ...... What kind of artifact is this? How far can you go? ”

Xu Zizhen said proudly: "By the way, this thing is called a telescope, this one in your hand can see almost thirty times far, and it is easy to break if you put it away carefully." ”

Luo Ji was surprised and delighted, and even his voice trembled a little: "Master, give me such a treasure?" This...... This is not to be done. ”

Xu Zizhen scolded with a smile: "What's the matter, put it away for me, and go back and tell me every move of those bastards, especially the golden dog, understand?" ”

Luo Ji took a deep breath, suddenly knelt on one knee, and said with a resolute and sonorous expression: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

He couldn't help but be excited, his eyesight was good, but he couldn't see hundreds of steps away at night, but when he looked at the hall with a telescope on the roof as Xu Zizhen said, he could see everything in the house clearly, as if it was in front of him, and even the slightest change in the expressions of everyone in the room he could see clearly.

This is a treasure, an absolute treasure, and Rogie instantly set the value of this thing.

Priceless! Especially if he is lurking and listening like this, even if he has this thing, it seems almost meaningless to describe it as a tiger's wings.

Looking at Luo Ji, who was full of excitement, leaving, Xu Zizhen touched his chin and muttered to himself: "It's good to go back and let Brother Bu go and buy a few more crystals, in the future, Tianji Camp will have a telescope as standard, how awesome should it be?" ”

After returning to the house, Xu Zizhen didn't say a word about what happened just now, and instead talked to Duan Chen about opening up the Dali trade route.

There are already trade routes from Song to Dali, and there are a lot of them, but Xu Zizhen inserted this foot but did not plan to compete with others for jobs, his caravan can run several routes, and with Yelu Dashi will fight in Afghanistan in the future, the trade route will be farther, the advantage is unparalleled, although Dali is small, but it is the only route to Bagan Siam (Myanmar Thailand), there is a relationship with Duan Chen, so it is natural to grasp it.

After talking for a long time, Xu Zizhen suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Brother Duan, what kind of king is your father?" You can speak in front of your emperor, right? ”

Duan Chen and Duan Yan's brother and sister looked at each other in astonishment, and suddenly they all laughed.

Xu Zizhen wondered, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Duan Yan took Zhuo Ya's hand with a smile and said, "Brother Zhen, don't you know? My father is the king of Dali, but Dali is a subject of the Great Song Dynasty, so I can only canonize the county lord, otherwise I can be a princess like Sister Zhuoya. ”

Dali ...... Princess? Xu Zizhen was dumbfounded.
